WAR DEPARTMENT,
September 28,
1863 — 1.35 p.m.
Maj. Gen. CARL SCHURZ,
Benwood, via Wheeling:
General Hooker is authorized to relieve from command any
officer that interferes with or hinders the transportation of troops in the
present movement. Whether you have done so, and whether he has relieved you
from command, ought to be known to yourself. The order will certainly be
enforced against any officer, whatever his rank may be, who delays or endangers
transportation of troops.
EDWIN M. STANTON.
